Just saw on Good Morning Football that Rappaport believes Jamaal Charles will sign with the Hawks... If Charles can be healthy it would be an interesting signing especially if we can get him cheap... thoughts?

I'm sure we will see a repeat of last year's plan. Populate training camp with a ton of cheap RBs and let them compete. If Charles comes cheap with minimal to no guarantees, I don't see why we wouldn't give him a shot. Draft 2 RBs, see what's available UDFA. Then we have 6 or 7 RBs competing in training camp.

Did Chip Kelly assume roster management duties for the Seahawks this year? I must have missed the announcement.

I doubt at this point he will be getting a huge contract, if anything it'll be filled with bonuses based off staying healthy. If he does, he is a top 5 RB in the league. If he gets injured, I'm sure he could be released with minimal problems.

Adding aging running backs won't change the fact that our offensive line is among the worst the league has seen in the last decade. If we don't address the line then skill position players are only window dressing.

It seems to me they are looking for a veteran who knows how to run in the ZBS and can catch passes. Makes some sense. I'm sure last year and the year before with CMike just drove the coaching staff nuts. A rookie isn't going to definitely be an upgrade if they can't adapt to the ZBS quickly.
